athiests. bob said food is food no matter where it comes from, they're hungry. thank you for sharing your thoughts. have a fantastic weekend. now time for shepard smith. >> another huge day in the fight over obamacare. the president is minutes away from meeting with insurance company executives. another sex scandal at the secret service and this one is big, ahead, reports of prostitutes, supervisor, and one very drunken agent. our old pal, toronto's crack-smoking mayor, rob ford, the canadian exec who is giving the mayor a reality show, explains the wisdom behind his decision. would you watch crack-smoking mayor tv? let's get to it. first from the fox news deck at 3:00 on the east coast, president obama is but minutes

away from signature down with health insurance ceos for a sort of strategy session, to talk up the president's big change to his signature healthcare law. even those his policies do not march the obamacare requirements. it's clear to make good on the president's campaign promise if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance, but the change is not calming critics. insurance companies, state officials, even lawmaker friday in the president's party are slamming the move and kathleen sebelius said she doubts that reversing the cancellations would work well this late in the game. now secretary sebelius is playing down the number of people who were cancelled. >> i'd say a relatively small number of people in the overall scheme of things, but for those people it's real, and i think the president felt keeping the

commitment that people should be able to stay in their own plans was something he felt was important. >> relatively is the operative word there. that may be a relatively small number? but it's not small number-right? it adds up to 5,091,843 people with cancelled insurance. insurance that the president said over and over they can keep. some republican lawmakers say those folks deserve more than just a year's extension. >> they want to retain the choice they had, which was really, when you go back to the debate back in 20, i don't think it would have passed had they not been able to make this promise that we know now is really not accurate. >> that congressman, the republican fred upton, sponsored a bill to let anybody buying insurance that doesn't meet obamacare's requirements, even people who don't have such plans. the house passed the measure this afternoon. the white house vows to veto the bill calling it an effort to

sabotage all of obamacare. let's get started with the fox business network's peter barnes who is live on the north lawn. with whom is the president meeting this afternoon? >> reporter: shep, about a dozen or so of these health insurance executives arrived here about 20 minutes ago, entering the west wing, and they represent companies including it narks humana, the tufts health care plan, which is big in new england, the florida blue cross blue shield and other blue cross blue shields around the cub -- country and they're arriving with a warning to the president that the change he anyway announced yesterday could lead to higher premiums for some could destabilize the el healthcare market because all the plans the companies made is out to the window. >> how are insurance companies handling this. >> here's a statement from aetna today. it said it supports efforts to allow people to keep the health insurance they've got. however, we will need

cooperation and expedited approval from state regulators to removal barriers that would make it difficult to make this change in such a short period of time. state regulators need to us allow us to update policies pold secure appropriate operates so we can get these plans back on the market. how this shakes out is anybody's guess. take a listen. >> i'm betting they will reissue them. get back in touch with policy holders and say do you want it for another year? for some insurance companies, a good business decision will be maybe we don't need to be in the individual market at all. and i think that could be an unintended consequence of all the chaos here. >> and perhaps one of the intended consequences of this decision by the white house is to take the heat off the president for all of this, and now put it on the insurance companies. shep? >> peter barnes on a beautiful fall day in d.c.

good to see you. >> the changes in the rules for obamacare have a lot of officials on the state level scratching their heads, wondering if it's going to work. health insurance commissioners in self states are reviewing whether it will be possible for them to go back and renew cancelled plans, and officials in at least one state are saying, it's absolutely not going to work. we have a map here of showing all the states and where they all. all of the colored ones have gone on record, the ones withouts color have not gone on record. you see red up there, that's washington state. they have said no way, this isn't going to work. the health commissioner is a democrat. said his state will not go along with the president's plan in green you see the states already on board, but the vast majority, the ones in yellow, are still sort of reviewing their options. most of them, though, have not weighed in at all. chris wallace is the anchor of "fox news sunday" and is live in washington. everything is fixed now. this is great.

>> well, you know, here's the point. this bill was passed in march of 2010, shep. and the insurance companies and the insurance regulators for the last three and a half years have been working on the basis of trying to make this all work. based on the mandates and the changes that were in obamacare. now the president comes out in the middle of november, 0 month -- less than a month before the insurance companies have to set, if you're going to get a policy on january 1st january 1st they have to decide by december 15th. and he says all those policies that were absolutely substandard, couldn't be allowed, you can go ahead and we won't enforce the coverage mandates to the expanded mandates for things like maternity care and all the other things and the insurance company is saying, this is complicated. we made decisions on premiums, state regulators based on an idea of the risk pool. enough now if the recollection

pool changes that could take weeks and months. >> wasn't the point to try to get rid of policies that would hurt people more than they would help them. >> this was true a week and a half'm ago when jay carney said we don't want to have those policies. they're substandard, they're bad. the whole point of obamacare was to kick them out. what a difference a week and a stampede by the house makes and then theirs kathleen sebelius says it's too late and this change won't help. now she changed their mind. they're delving, no matter where you are, they're developing a credibility problem, and in a second term, president with a credibility problem and a cabinet with a credibility problem equals nothing is going to get done. >> i also want to pick up, shep, on exactly what you said earlier, when kathleen sebeliused had the -- i'm saying

it dish gall to say a relatively small number of people. it's five million now but potentially it's 5% of the market, which is 15 million people. all of obamacare was to get 30 million people, which is 10% of the market, to get them insurance. somehow that is he holey grail of obamacare. 30 million, but 15 million is a relatively small number. >> i heard nicole wallace today, who used to be with mccain and was in the bush white house before, talk about this, she felt like, was george bush's katrina moment, this would be president obama's katrina moment, and i wonder if you think that's overstating matters. >> i think it depends. it could be much worse than katrina. nobody is going to die in obamacare -- >> i meant the politics. >> right. in terms of the politics it could be worse. katrina was a terrible event, lord knows you were there, you saw how badly our government responded, but it began and it ended within a week.

this could affect people's lives for years to come. and the healthcare choices, their ability to see doctors, the price they pay potentially politically this could be much worse. >> politically, wonder if you're not right. chris ill be anchoring "fox news sunday" airing at 2:00 and 6:00 eastern time and also on the dial on your regular local fox station. he will have an exclusive interview with liz cheney, the daughter of the former vice-president dick cheney, she is running for senator in wyoming, and 50 years after president kennedy's assays nation, chris will talk to jfk's niece, and his nephew, patrick kennedy, this sunday on "fox news sunday" on your local fox broadcast station. coming up, more on the g.o.p. response to the obamacare debacle, and today's house vote on whether to allow americans to keep their insurance plan.

the obama administration is reacting to a republican bill that passed in the house.

it would allow folks to buy health insurance even if that health insurance does not meet the aca guidelines. as we reported earlier, the white house vows to veto this bill, saying it's just another attempt to undercut the entire healthcare law. republicans say it's to make sure the president keeps his promise the people won't lose their current coverage. mike emanuel has this and is live. how successful were republicans in selling democrats to join the effort. got dozens of them. >> that's right, shep. 39 of the 261 votes in favor of the upton bill were democrats. that's up from 22 who voted for the individual mandate delay in july and 35 who voted for the employer mandate delay in july. chairman fred upton says more democrats would have joined suit but they were successful in pushing president obama to allow people to keep their insurance. >> he was prepared to do that until we showed that we had some

bipartisan zip around here to try and in fact enforce, make whole, his promise that he has said over and over and over again. that's what this bill does. >> so lawmakers we return home after saying to their constituents or being able to say, they passed something to try to allow them to keep their insurance. it seems up likely the senate -- unlikely the senate will take it up after president obama threatened to veto it. >> it can be dull in the house but not today. >> lawmakers on both sides are frustrated after getting a lot of angry phone calls and e-mails from constituents who are upset about losing their insurance policies, but we heard from some democrats they thought the bill was all about another attempt to kill obamacare. >> this is a shell bill. in the end, just let me say, my friend, have some correct you. introduced 102 bills.

never put one of them on the floor for a vote. so don't pretend you care about the american people's health care here. you're just trying to repeal the affordable care act. democrats are not going to let you do that. >> the concern for democrats was not fixing this to allow people to stay on their current policies, but the idea that new people would be able to buy these policies that don't meet the obama car -- care standard because that would take them away from the exchange. >> the post office now, we all know the office os is in the red. but over this past seven years, guess how deeply the post office is in the red? $46.2 billion. over seven years. the usps announced losses from the past year alone total some $5 billion. which is actually an improvement from the previous year. hey, we only lost five bill this year. back when the post office hemorrhaged $16 billion a year

before. earlier this week the agency announced it will now partner with amazon to begin delivering packages on sunday. postal officials are urging come to pass legislation to help the agency solve its money problems. >> a lot of people fired up over what is happening on a plane in pennsylvania. heard about this? an airline booted a blind man and his seeing-eye dog. you'll hear from a passenger who was there when it happened. plus the response from the airline. that's coming up.

19 minutes past the hour, and passengers on user aways flight say they're outraged after the airline escorted a blind man off their flight. this happened wednesday night in philly before a flight to long island. albert rizzi was traveling with

his service flight. flight attendants say the dog got agitated after a flight delay and the animal was not staying put. >> the flight attendant said the dog can't be here. he needs to be stowed under a seat. there was no time at all my dog was off leech and -- off leash and running around. >> the passengers backed that up. still the crew removed the exchange the dog from flight so a lot of passengers stood up for him and the airline canceled the flight altogethers after hours of weighting. a spokeswoman says usairways treats its customers with respect. she gave us a written statement that reads in part, in this instance, mr. rizzi, the blind map, became disruptive and refused to comply with the crew members' instructions when the flight attendant asked him to secure his dog at his feet. as a result of his disruptive behavior, the crew return to the gate. and removed mr. rizzi and his service dog from the flight. let's get more on that.

carl binder was on the flight and is live with us this afternoon. is that how it went down, karl? >> no, not even close. >> could you see it? >> yeah. he was about maybe ten rows in back of me. >> go ahead. what did you see? >> really nothing. there was no uprising as far as he was doing -- the dog was laying at his feet the whole time. there was never any real commotion in the back of the plane. >> all of a sudden you see tsa agents coming on the plane. right. >> yes. >> what did they do? >> that was after -- the steward stewardess and the person walked back him and told him he had to leave and everybody was like, why? what's going on? as far as we knew all the delays were mechanical issues with the plane. never any problem on board. >> but after this happened, there were more delays and then

what happened? >> well, we end up being thrown on a bus and driven back to long island because the crusade that they wouldn't get on the plane with the passengers again. >> because they were upset that the pawnings stood up nor blind man and his dog. >> absolutely. >> and now it's my understanding that the airline is trying to say that you guys don't deserve a refund for this flight, but you're insistent and the record shows the flight was cancelled. >> right. they said that because we chose to take the bus, they didn't owe us a refund. >> how did you feel about this after it was over? >> you know what? i was -- i just wanted to get home. it had been a long trip. at the end of the day, it was -- it felt good we actually stood up for this guy. nobody deserves to be treated that way, particularly a handicapped person, and it was just like a big -- could have been handled a whole lot

differently. >> our our research evers talked to people on the plane, and to a man and woman they say, this is a service dog. it sat there like service dog does and that was it. >> it did, yes. exactly. just laid on the floor at his seat. never barked, never got up, never made any kind of problems. >> an interesting turn of events. we have gotten the word from the airline. i guess we'll -- gotten some word from passengers as well. nice to meet you, carl, thank you. >> nice to meet you, too. >> a teenager who got into a car crash, then knocked on a stranger's door for help, ended up dead, when employs say the man who she sought out for help, shot her in the face. now the man is facing charges. this happened earlier this month in suburban detroit. today prosecutors charged the man with murder in the second degree and manslaughter as well in connection with the woman's death. test shows she was drunk and had thc in her system after the

crash. her family says she knocked on the man's door for help. police say the home owner thought she was an intruder because there were no signs she was trying to break in. we have not yet heard from the home owner's lawyer. >> word of more secret service scandals in a big way involving prostitutes, bad behavior, all over the world. and wait until you hear why one agent reportedly missed his flight. that's coming up. >> the parents accused of giving back their adopted child years after they brought that little boy home. well, they're facing charges now, and cops are having a tough time tracking them down. that's coming right up. if you think a prune is a prune, you haven't tried sunsweet,

>> more headlines from the fox news deck. long lines are forming at gas stations in the philippines where people say they fear fuel may be running out after last week's devastating typhoon.

>> the agent was reportedly at a brothel, drunk, and had to take a commercial flight at additional expense. remember, the "washington post" has also reported that officials have removed two supervisors from president obama's security detail for allegedly sending sexually suggestive i'ms to other female agent. one supervisor helped lead the internal investigation into last year's sex scandal in colombia. after that scandal the secret service fired a couple of agents. secret service agent dan emon is here. nice to see you. always like this?

this can't be an all bad bunch. >> no shep, it's not all like this. during my 21 year career, things like this were just simply -- they didn't go on, and if they did i didn't know about it and i would have. i think what you're seeing is a combination of perhaps people behaving badly, and unfortunately, some weak leadership within the secret service. >> dan, i have a unique problem here because somebody has a key open and it just closed. so i couldn't hear anything -- a technical problem that i've never experienced. dan, we're talking about 18 countries here. that the accusation is that this happened -- there was some sort of sexual problem one or another across 18 countries. is the issue one of age and inexperience or how do you see it? >> shep, you know, in the organization, the success of that organization is based upon sound leadership, and i think

that unfortunately, right now, within the secret service as well as the federal government, that leadership is not as strong as it should be. >> why is that? >> the secret service has some very strong leaders but unfortunately not enough. when the secret service became a part of the department of homeland security in 2002, that created about 1,000 new openings for agents, and someone had to supervise those agents. so a new supervisors became supervisors overnight that probably would not have become gs-14 supervisors -- >> they weren't ready to get bigger as an organization. they didn't have the managers in waiting. people had not been properly trained. is that what you're saying? >> that's what i'm saying. you have an awful lot of young people who were thrust into these leadership positions and quite frankly, weren't just ready. anytime you have an elite organization, small organization, like the secret

service, that expands too quickly, you're going to run into these kinds of things such as poor leadership. >> what the secret service does is keep the president out of harm's way ask that concerns everybody. there is a risk here beyond these shenanigans? >> i don't see there being a risk, shep, other than the fact that these agents just need to learn how to behave better. when it comes to professionalism, keeping the president alive, there's no one better doing this than the presidential protective division. i think that the service probably needs to look a little more closely, though, at the people who are leading these young agents over there, and probably need to be a little more careful about who they select to go there as supervisors. >> dan emmett, former secret service agent himself and intelligence expert. nice to see you. thank you. >> thank you. >> for the first time in nearly three decades, china is significantly scaling back its controversial one child policy. this is new today. we got word from the country's

communist leaders who say families can have a second child, if at least one parent was an only child. under the previous rules, both parents had to be an only child, or each parent had to be an only child. you get the point. chinese officials claim the policy has helped ease up overcrowding, and lifted families out of poverty. critics say the limits led to forced abortions and sterilizations and couples who break the rules have gotten fined and sometimes fired. jonathan hunt with more on this. i was surprised to hear this was happening and i wonder why is it happening now? >> you might think this is about the communist party readership wanting to right a human rights wrong. you wouldn't be right if you said that. this is all about economics. the one child policy has created a ticking time bomb for the chinese nation. so many of their population aging, it is unsustainable for them to keep the kind of

economic growth going they wanted, and this may be simply action they're taking now that is too late. listen here. >> if the leadership were forward, thinking this change would have occurred american decade ago. we already have accelerated demographic decline so this is too little too late. >> chinese leaders have been saying their economic growth is close to 8%. experts like gordon believe it's actually closer to about 1%, shep and that's why they need this change. it's a time bomb waiting to explode. >> what about the labor camps, are they going to get rid of those? >> this is more to do with human rights. the labor camps have not been popular with the chinese population. they were put in place three decade ago. there are more than 300 of them, you might be surprised to hear, still in operation. more than 300,000 people in those labor camps. the question is, how quickly will they be closed? here's gordon chang again. >> it is controversial in

chinese official circles-but even though they abolished this, there still will be illegal detentions. so i'm not so sure this is going to be a significant chang from a practical point of view. >> both these changes, the abolition of the labor camps and the change anyone-child policy, were announced at the end of a meeting of communist party lead are in beijing. the question is, as always, will the words be translated into action. >> we don't always final out the answers to those questions. >> we certainly don't. i was surprised to hear that there are that many labor camps still in operation. more than 300. about 310. nobody knows the precise figure. and around 310,000 people in those labor camps. talk about north korea all the time. happening in china as well. >> and forced labor, they work for subsidies from the government? >> yes. basically they get put into these labor camps, that are

called reeducation camps. set up originally by mao, all about those who criticized the communist party, being sent to those camps to be re-educated and learn the right way. they're still in operation. extraordinary. >> it is. thank you very much. i want to get to mike emanuel on capitol hill. the president is meeting with chief executives from their health insurance a day after he wanted insurers to allow people to keep their current health plan. yesterday president obama said he would allow insurers to reenroll customers in health plans but not sell the plans to new customers. this meeting comes after the health insurance industry's main trade group expressed skepticism about the president's effort to help people keep their insurance plans. millions of americans received cancellation notices already from their insurers who said the policies were not compliant with the new government regulation.

the coverage has changed too much since 2002 to be eligible for a grandfathering exemption. mike emanuel following this. >> some people question whether the president has the authority, and folks on capitol hill are looking at the bill they voted on today and perhaps other legislative fixes to the healthcare law. also folks who suggest perhaps the president should heave sat down with the insurance company executives before making the proclamation yesterday testify white house, wondering if it's even feasible for them because they have been spending three plus years trying to adjust to the new healthcare law to prepare new policies for it, and then all of a sudden they're being told to go back to what they were doing before, and may not be easy to turn on a dime. so, be interesting to see exactly what the -- health insurance executives tell the president at this meeting and whether it's do-able or whether they have grave concerns whether

they'll be able to make this happen for the american public that obviously is under great stress getting these cancellation nights from insurance carriers. >> it's interesting juxtaposition. videotape is not the president's friend at the moment as in the years preceding -- leading up to this moment, he was throwing those insurance companies under the bus. the problem was the insurance companies. the insurance companies are not serving the people. we well, now he is going back to the insurance companies to make the change work. there's been a pool camera in with the president and these insurance executives and now we'll hear a little bit from it. let's listen. >> welcome the executives who are here from a lot of the insurance companies in the marketplace. we all share similar value. we want to make sure that americans have good, solid coverage that gives them the security they need for themes and their family members if and when they get sick, and we know the demand is out there for

that. we had -- despite problems with the web site, over a mental people -- million people apply. multiples of that wanted to see what options were available. obviously because of problems with the web site, some folks have been blocked from seeing the well-priced, benefits that are available in the marketplace, and so we're working 24/7 to get it fixed. the web site is working better now than a couple of weeks ago. we're going to be brainstorming how to make sure everybody understands what their options are, because of choice and competition, a whole lot of american whose always seen health insurance out of risk are going -- out of reach are going to be in a position to purchase it and because of the law we're also going to be able to provide them help, even if they are still having trouble purchasing that insurance, but they have

know what the options are in order to be successful. so i appreciate all these folks coming in. we're soliciting ideas from them. we want to make sure we get this done so that in the years to come every american is going to have the kind of affordable health care that they all deserve. so, thank you very much for being here. we appreciate you guys. thank you, everybody. >> the president speaking moments ago there with the insurance executives. first on fox this afternoon, and, mike, the minute and 50 seconds of the president there, you'd think everything was just like it was before. you're going to have more insurance. going to be more opportunities. there's an elephant in the room and just kept walking its -- between the camera and him. >> it's interesting. the president is well aware that clip will play throughout the course of the weekend so as anxious americans tune in, whether it's to this show or another show of the course of the weekend, they'll see the clip. so he is trying reassure northwestern public that

we're -- the american public we're on the case, we're going to fix the web site and work it out with these insurance executives. the sound clip to listen to will the what the executives say about what they told the president and whether they can actually get this done. >> mike, always good to see you, thank you very much. >> we all have problems, everybody does. the president clearly does, and then... that's next. honely, i'm a little old fashioned.

i love chalk and erasers. . l my students have the brand new surface. it has the new windows and comes with office, has a real keyboard, so they can do real work. they can use bing smartsearch to find anything in the wod... or last night's assignment. and the battery lasts anlasts, so after school they can skype, play games, and my favorite...do homework. change is lookg pretty good after all. ♪

>> yesterday in this time period the proud canadian john roberts broke the news his hometown crack-smoking mayor rob ford is getting his own television show. now the president of the network, sun news network, is speaking out about the decision and says, quote, we want our point to be more opinionated and our news to be newsier. we're in the age of reality tv

and doesn't get anymore real than the ford. the walls are closing in on mayor ford. city law mickers are moving to strip him of his power, and today he says he completely understands. >> i would have done the same thing. if i had a mayor acting the way i have conducted myself i would have done the exact same thing. i'm not mad at anybody. i take full responsibility. >> there you go. you're probably aware that north americans are mayor rob ford has had a rough couple weeks. last tuesday he admitted he smoked crack cocaine probably a year nothing a drunken studentor. he is not stifling a vomit there, just catching his breath. >> the police announced they had undercovered a video that showed him smoking said crack in a crack house. he fought with a scrum of news reporters in his driveway before the announcement. this is fun to watch. and then here you can see last

thursday he apologized for another video. that's quite the face. appeared show him drunk, ranting about wanting to kill somebody, and then came yesterday. it seems like it was only yesterday. he had a news conference in which he -- i can't even get it started -- i can't even give you context -- i can't do -- i can suggest to you that if you have a free moment, you visit the google and enjoy his news conference from yesterday. it will not be shown here. he was wearing a toronto argonauts team jersey. the team called is disappointing. a lawmaker says toronto has treasury suspended all school trips to city hall because staffers consider them unsafe for children. the mayor, john roberts' mayor. john is live with us from his headquarters. so, city council cannot force

the mayor to resign but make the mayor, well, mayor-less. >> well, yeah, and make him up comfortable. they have no legal option to force him to stem of step down. they can only try tome bar was him into going, and that's what they were doing today, taking away a lot of his powers as mayor of the city of toronto, his ability to appoint and near members of the executive committee, the power to implement emergency management plans. the bigger day is going to come on monday, when the city council basically is going to try to take away most of his budget and give most of his remaining powers to the deputy mayor. basically they would bust him down to same status as every other member of council the deputy mayor would run the city. now, ford, who obviously, by looking at the lilt any of foibles you laid out there is way past the point of public humiliation. he can simply ride out the next year and shoot for re-election nest year. there's a massive media scrum following the city council

meeting. ford is going to try to fight all of this in court, which has become his default position. yesterday, up a all the news of his alleged conduct on st. patrick's day came out, he said he would sue the former staffers who told the stories to police investigators. >> st. patrick's day story, had to do with cocaine and a prostitute. is there not a way to just remove him? >> there is not at the city council. the power to remove him rests with the province of ontario, which could take him out now had he been convicted of a crime, but there is a way -- we tilted toward this yesterday -- thy the province could do it if they change the law governing how and win a mayor can be taken out. they can decide the mayor's presence there in the city of toronto does not allow the council to function. basically saying he is too much of a distraction. that's what some members of city couple want the province to do. the ontario premiere says she is
